MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 2:50 pm I finally figured out how to activate my E-Bucks on ebay a while ago. As a result I got an email saying I have some to ready to redeem. Now I have seen several different answers to this so I am confused. Can you currently redeem your E-Bucks on coins? Thanks...Mont Edited by MontCollector 04/09/2017 2:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Druu Pillar of the Community United States 1000 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 4:50 pm Yup. I spent my uber rich $0.50 ebay Bucks yesterday towards a coin. They make you pay using the PayPal option though. If you still want to use a credit card for the points there, click PayPal and change "payment method" or "preferred method of payment" (or whatever they call it) to "credit card ending in XXXX." I'm not sure what the default PayPal method is, mine was either PayPal balance or direct from a linked bank account. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 6:44 pm Correct. On a non-bullion coin purchase, your ebay Bucks should appear automatically as an offset at checkout. Remember, these must be used within a 30-day period, so don't dawdle. Report this Post to the Staff
nss-52 Moderator United States 54283 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 7:20 pm The poorly written ebay bucks policy reads-- Your qualifying spend (purchase) is made... "excluding the following categories:" (one of which is) "Coins & Paper Money, but only for Bullion within that category." Report this Post to the Staff

nss-52 Moderator United States 54283 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 07:32 am ebay bucks have less restrictions than ebay gift cards (yes, I know this is not directly on subject). ebay gift cards (not talking about ebay Bucks) can NOT be used for: "coins, paper money, virtual currency, or items generally considered to be "bullion" (for example, gold, silver, and other precious metals in the form of coins, bars, or ingots)." With ebay gift cards and ebay Bucks, you can buy a gold watch, but not gold bars. Can you think of a valid reason for ebay to restrict ebay Bucks and ebay Gift cards in this manner?
